(2) As suggested by the P69, turn right and follow the signs, climbing gradually towards a ridge that peaks at 1,099 metres.
(3) Keep left and continue at a constant altitude until you reach a P69.
(4) Once back on the ridge, head south until you reach a fork (hiking sign).
(5) Turn left, find a P69 at an altitude of 1049 metres, and you will come to another fork shortly after Törli (P69).
